Sorry for not keeping up, but have been
away for a couple of days. Just to say I have downloaded the eval
copy of Vintela Authentication Service and will be trying out over the next
couple of days. Al thanks again Best Regards, Simon From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe To tie back in, if you have a single *nix
platform that you keep pretty standard for patches and such then your chances
are better at keeping up with making it work. The more platforms or versions of
a platform (or some combination) the stronger you need to be looking at a
packaged product. You could seriously have a full time job trying to keep up
with that stuff and working out the kinks every time there is an update if you
have quite a few platforms/revs you have to cover. -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of Douglas M. Long I have to agree. It seems that once you
have finally dorked around for what seems forever and have it working,
something (whether it be a samba vulnerability or some other *nix change;
especially in Solaris) breaks it and you have to dork around again. Vintela
honestly took me less than 10 minutes to get it working on the first Solaris
machine (including reading the instructions) and probably a minute for every
machine thereafter. I have used SFU and At least get a price quote and compare it
to 40 hours x 2 x your hourly rate, before going down the path of trying it
yourself. Could take less than 80 hours or more, but I would say a good
baseline for Solaris. The times 2 comes from the fact that for every hour you
are working on it, you take an hour away from something else that needs done. On a side note, I did learn a lot when
messing around with trying it myself. I apologize for my scattered way of
thinking and composing a message.

unless you want to spend a good amount of time dorking around with it. -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Mulnick Not sure what you mean by redundant fsmo but... As for integration: opensource: samba was supposed to come out with a v4 of their product
that looked promising. Centrify and Vintella would be more of what I'd look for however.
Much smoother integration. PAM modules could be used if you really wanted to, although it wouldn't
be my first choice. NFS? That doesn't solve your issue of single credentials. Al On 1/30/06, Simon
